Ain't No Pastor

“…For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”(Jude 1:4 ESV)

Wake up, you sleepy heads!And before you let “amen”Leave your lipsYou need to seriously reconsiderWhat’s being said because…

THOSE WORDS ARE DEAD.

And that ain’t no pastorThat’s an actor –That’s why he's woofin’ and wailin’It’s all just a performance To keep you from paying attentionTo what he’s really sayingHe could’ve said, “I’m Sarah Palin!”And everybody would still be swayin’But if you listen with discernmentYou’d know this dude is whack‘Cause he says If you want God to bless youThen you gotta earn it, jack

That ain’t no pastorSure, he’s “preachin’”But he’s reachin’Way out of contextWith the scripture that he’s readin’Faith like a mustard seed Has nothing to doWith how wide I’m willin’ toOpen up my checkbookIt’s believing thatThe Lord is my trust fallSo I don’t even have to look

That ain’t no pastorAnd what you’re hearing Is not a sermonThat’s not Holy Ghost fire, HomeyHe’s got a mouth like a furnaceA fire-breathing dragonWith no capacity to be honestReady to scatter the flock like ashesAnd many will never see it comin’

No, these aren’t pastorsAt best, they’re bastardized renditionsThe agony of deceit –Full of hypocrisy and omissionPlease, take up and readDon’t let your souls be led astray‘Cause every dog will have its dayTo tragically discoverExactly how its own vomit tastes…
